I3-SENSIBLE-TERMINAL(1)		   i3 Manual	       I3-SENSIBLE-TERMINAL(1)

NAME
       i3-sensible-terminal - launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks

SYNOPSIS
       i3-sensible-terminal [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
       i3-sensible-terminal is invoked in the i3 default config	to start a
       terminal. This wrapper script is	necessary since	there is no
       distribution-independent	terminal launcher (but for example Debian has
       x-terminal-emulator). Distribution packagers are	responsible for
       shipping	this script in a way which is appropriate for the
       distribution.

       It tries	to start one of	the following (in that order):

       •   $TERMINAL (this is a	non-standard variable)

       •   x-terminal-emulator (only present on	Debian and derivatives)

       •   mate-terminal

       •   gnome-terminal

       •   terminator

       •   xfce4-terminal

       •   urxvt

       •   rxvt

       •   termit

       •   Eterm

       •   aterm

       •   uxterm

       •   xterm

       •   roxterm

       •   termite

       •   lxterminal

       •   terminology

       •   st

       •   qterminal

       •   lilyterm

       •   tilix

       •   terminix

       •   konsole

       •   kitty

       •   guake

       •   tilda

       •   alacritty

       •   hyper

       Please don't complain about the order: If the user has any preference,
       they will have $TERMINAL	set or modified	their i3 configuration file.
